Abstract

1. Apparatus for treating flexible printing plates produced by a photochemical method, in particular those produced from photopolymerizable substances which are exposed to actinic light and washed out and cleaned in a closed housing by means of rotating brushes on which washout liquid impinges and are transported by means of a table located between the rollers and by means of the rollers, and the first three pairs of rollers effect transport while the two subsequent pairs of rollers effect cleaning and partial drying in addition to transport, wherein the upper rollers (1A, 2A, 3A) of the three pairs of transport rollers (1, 2, 3) and the upper roller (4A) of the pair of cleaning rollers (4) downstream from the pairs of transport rollers are covered with velour (6), the corresponding lower rollers (1B, 2B, 3B, 4B) of the abovementioned pairs of rollers (1, 2, 3, 4) and the upper roller (5A) and the lower roller (5B) of the second pair of cleaning rollers (5) are covered with a textile fabric (7), and scrapers (8) having hold-down plates (9) are located, parallel to the roller axes, at the upper rollers of the pairs of transport rollers (1, 2), and scrapers (8) are located at the upper rollers of the pair of transport rollers (3) and of the pair of cleaning rollers (4, 5).
